Feature request: Add word wrapping to gitk display
Hi,
when working on text files with long lines, "word diff" can produce appropriate diff display. However, the long lines cannot be viewed very well in gitk (requires excessive scrolling).
I found out that it is quite easy to achieve this
index 805a1c7..5ba7472 100755
gitk +0 -0

set ctext .bleft.bottom.ctext
text $ctext -background $bgcolor -foreground $fgcolor \
-state disabled -font textfont \
- -yscrollcommand scrolltext -wrap none \
+ -yscrollcommand scrolltext -wrap word \
-xscrollcommand ".bleft.bottom.sbhorizontal set" if {$have_tk85} {
$ctext conf -tabstyle wordprocessor
however I'm not otherwise knowledgeable about Tk to make this a properly configurable switch. I think it would be a very nice addition to have, a check box next to "Line diff/ color words" that says "Wrap words in display".
Thanks,
Nei
